Monday Night Magic #430 – First Look at Khans Standard

After Jack takes the beginning of the show to make a plea to the listeners, we get into the newest incarnation of Standard, and boy is it a doozy! There’s other stuff too, but that’s really the biggest thing going on, right?

I can’t believe you guys couldn’t figure out how the Jeskai storm deck wins.

Jeskai Ascendancy gives your creatures +1/+1 as well as untapping them and letting you loot. So once you have cycled through 20 activations you can swing with a 20/20 mystic. AND the burning Anger version just taps to deal 20 damage.

Well we know how it’s supposed to win, we were just seriously amazed that it managed to do so. Cluze (I think it was Cluze, it was one of them that wasn’t me) even pointed out the Burning Anger before we moved away to something else.
